Gov. OGLrsBY, of Illinois, has given a
calm and JUDICIAL hearing to the applicants
for mercy among those condemned aud
sentenced TO be hung for the Haymarket
murders. Ills final judgment appears to
have been influenced by statement writ
ten by Judge Gary, who presided at the
tiial, and tigncd by District Attorney Grin
nell, who prosecuted the cases. The result
is that Fleldcn ana sshwab have their sen
te-ees eommutsd 10 imprisonment for life.
Spies, Fischer, EuEgi, sld Parsons will be
executed to-day, Lngg haylng killed himself
on yesterday. Thus the law will take It's
course, tempered with mercy, when sufll.
cient reasons were shown, and the arch
murderer Lingg who had the devillsh in.
tention to bury all who surrounded him in
death and ruin, only escaped punishment
by the hand OF the law by committing the
additional crime Of self-murder. Thus
closes dark, damnable, and bloody con-
spiracy of anarchists against the best form
Of government on earth, and all good clti
ztns will say, amen.

The Fourteenth street RAILWAY.

On more than one occasion attention has
been called to the utter lack Of accommo-
datlon on the Fourteenth street car line.
Mr.. Henry Hurt, the president OF the Wash
ington and Georgetown Railway Company,
has not the slightest regard for the con-
venience OF the people along and near
Fourteenth street, to accommodate whom
his company was given certain privileges.
Yesterday morning, for instance, when |
was raining so that every one was compelled
to ride, there was not an additional car on
the street. a gentleman who came on ca
173, reaching Fifteenth street a few minute
before O'Clock, counted over fifty people
crowded into that car.
1t Is an outrage upon decency on the par
Of this company that II refuses to put on
sufficient number OF cars to accommodate
the travel and to increase the number on
such days as yesterday, when the number
who want accommodation in fully doubled.
1t is to be hoped that Senator Ingalls,,
chairman of the District committee, who
has been examining into the subject, will
secure the passage OF such laws as will
prevent Mr.. Henry Hurt packing people as
closely as sardlnes in a box when they pay
him for the privilege OF seat in one OF
his cars.
The senator should also see that Mr.. Hurt
complies with the law as to running cars to
Mount Pleasant. In the meantime we sug-
gest to the people OF Fourteenth street that
they adopt the motto, "No seat no pay"
and refuse to put fares into q tox.
